I saw it on another blog and thought it was a great idea to share with others. Here is the link for the plugin: http://lesterchan.net/portfolio/programming/php/ Also, I gleaned the idea to change the format to only lead images from Michael Hall over at galactica-science.com http://lesterchan.net/portfolio/programming/php/ I love that you asked me to clean up my sidebar. At the same time I really like all of the little images that I had there. By moving them to the bottom my site is able to breathe a bit better I think! Thanks again for the feedback. What I have left to do is play with the formatting on the individual posts and pages...yeesh. Like I said, some pages/posts came from older sites where I had no control over the css (edublogs, wordpress.com) so whenever I wanted to change the format I did it manually. Each time I changed theme I think the older posts retained old formatting and adopted the new formatting of each theme. What a nightmare! Tracy ps - my latest post talks about my first few days with my class. It's going to be quite the year! Hi there :)

Great job! It's not cluttered anymore, and your navigation is not competing with itself. ;) You still have a good number of posts showing--changing the format to remove the secondary image format and have only lead images was an excellent choice (one that I wouldn't have thought of, BTW. :) ) I also like the rollover effect on your navigation buttons (I don't recall them changing this way before) I'm glad glad to NOT see any gray highlighted text. Nice work...I can't wait to see what else you do (and how your class goes!) Hi Tracy,

Not sure how I feel about them yet and I still have a few more things to do but it feels better than before :) Thanks again for your feedback and keep it coming!

I was just getting ready to notify you that I had completed my review. I'm surprised you're not updating the blog right now with your first day of school behind you. :D I took at look at test.tracyrosen.com--nice work! As much as I love the Unstandard theme, I think you're definitely headed in the right direction with this new look. The header and top navigation is much cleaner, and the overall layout is a lot less cluttered. I'd love to see how things progress--please keep me posted. And please keep coming back...I'm posting resources and interesting sites every week! ;) Wow, that was fast! I was just getting ready to notify you that I had completed my review.

Much of what you have pointed out rings very true to me and are things I am already starting to try to address here --> test.tracyrosen.com (very much a work in progress :) ) Part of the formatting issues have to do with the fact that I have imported some of the content from older themes I've used. I definitely plan on taking this feedback into account as I continue to develop this blog. Tracy I’ve read through this quickly and thank you for the feedback – I really appreciate it.
